Remove Printing off PVC pipe???
Wife wants to use short portions of PVC (I think, it's white) pipe for
some art project, how do I get the printing off pipe. I thought Alcohol would work, but it doesn't. Also tried "goof off" and latex paint remover, no luck. Obviously I could sand it off, but don't want to do that, too much work. Any ideas? |

The clear primer for pvc pipe will usually work. Use in an well vented area, outside |

How about denatured alcohol?

The best thing is the clear PVC cleaner. I haven't really found anything else
that works. Wear rubber gloves and wipe it with a rag. The daubber just smears the dye around. Do this outside, the fumes are horrible and it will burn your skin. If you really need a lot it might be better to find a place than sells "uncertified/labelled" pipe to the furniture industry. |
